Alessia Cara Immerses Herself in 'Love & Exaggeration' on Upcoming Album
Alessia Cara, the Grammy-winning singer, is back with a bang after taking a break from music! Her fourth studio album, titled "Love & Hyperbole," is now available and showcases a mature and experienced perspective of the hitmaker, four years after her last LP "In the Meantime."
Her return to music is more than just a comeback; it's a testament to her personal evolution. "Between 'In The Meantime' and starting to write this album, there were a few months where I wasn’t writing at all. I just felt the need to turn everything off and not write at all. I wasn’t playing guitar; I wasn’t listening to much music. I was just being a person in a different way, experiencing different things, and trying to push music to the side a bit so I could gather new experiences and nourish parts of my life that felt neglected," she shared with Uproxx.
Cara recounts the process of rediscovering her love for music and finding a new voice, resulting in a brand new direction for her music. The new songs have a notably more acoustic sound, drawing inspiration from the 1960s and 1970s music she loves.
"Love & Hyperbole" is a mirror reflecting a new artist back at herself. "I feel like I’ve stayed the same in a lot of ways, but in other ways, I’m a completely different person. I’ve let go of a lot of fears, shyness, and anxiety. I’m more free now, more at peace with myself," she concluded.
The album delves deep into various aspects of love, from romantic love to platonic love and the love of life. It captures the complex emotions associated with these experiences, reflecting on both the highs and lows of love. Cara's personal journey over the last three years is also seen in the album, showcasing her growth and deeper understanding of love.
"Love & Hyperbole" is a significant musical and thematic evolution for Alessia Cara, offering listeners a captivating and emotionally literate exploration of love and life.
Alessia Cara's return to music is not just a comeback, but also a transition from her previous album "In the Meantime" to the new and mature "Love & Hyperbole," which is now available in the Hollywood entertainment scene. The album's release is a testament to Cara's incorporation of her personal experiences and evolution into her music.
Cara's new direction in music can be seen in the acoustic sound of her new songs, which draw inspiration from the 1960s and 1970s music she loves. This shift in style has been hailed as a bold move in the highly competitive business of Hollywood entertainment.
The album's title, "Love & Hyperbole," is a subtle nod to Cara's ability to exaggerate or overstate for effect, a trait that is common in the realm of entertainment and, according to some critics, has become a hallmark of her style.
Cara's album "Love & Hyperbole" has been met with praise and excitement, with many Aussiedlerbote (German immigrants in Australia, often used as a metaphor for immigrants embracing a new culture) and music lovers alike, expressing their readiness to immerse themselves in this emotional journey.
